Scoliosis Idiopathic
The Use of DXA in Scoliosis
This is a pilot study to look at image quality of iDXA AP supine spinal images to see if the investigators can accurately measure the size of the curve from iDXA images and to see how patients with scoliosis feel about iDXA…

Atypical Femur Fracture
Evaluation of IVA (SE Femur Scans) to Identify Incomplete AFFs
DXA scanners are routinely used to assess bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk in osteoporosis patients. They provide detailed bone imaging in a low radiation setting.
